ings, and to the letters of reference, marked thereon, which form a partof this specification.

-This invention relates to new and useful,

improvements in gas-burners, and comprises a novel apparatus adapted tobe placed inside of heating-boxes of furnaces. stoves, &c., and soarranged that the fuel will-become thoroughly atomized before beingignited, and in the provision of means for introducing air, whereby athorough combustion of the fuel is efiected.

More specifically, the invention comprises a heater made of one or moresections and so arranged that a greater or less heating-surface may beemployed, according to the intensity of the heating desired, andcomprises a central receptacle into which the fuel is introduced and inwhich it becomes thoroughly heated before passing out through jets,where it becomes thoroughly mixed with air before passing to the chamberwhere the gas is ignited.

My invention consists, further, in various details of construction andin combinations and arrangements of parts, which will be hereinafterfully described and then specifically defined in the appended claims.

My invention is illustratedin the accompanying drawings, in which-Figure l is a top plan view of my improved heater. Fig. 2 is a sectionalview taken on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional view through theheater, parts being shown in top plan View. Fig. a is a sectional viewthrough the transverse section of the heater.

Reference now being had to the details of drawings by letter, Adesignates a circularcompartment receptacle, which in the presentinstance is shown as having two circular chambers A and A separated by apartition y B, and O designates a plate which may be integral with saidreceptacle A or secured thereto, and said plate 0 is centrally aperturedto receive the threaded screw D, which is mounted upon any suitablesupportingpipes or other means, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawin gs.Radially-disposed nozzles E lead from said circular chambers A and A andleading to the two compartments A and A are fuel-feeding pipes F and F,one of which leads to one of said compartments and the other to thesecond compartment. Secured to the plate 0 is a circular plate K, with acentral opening, and the two plates C and Kare to be fastened togetherin any suitable manner, and a burner H, of circular form, is se cured tothe plate K and has a plurality of chambers N and N, into which lead theradial ducts O and O, the former, 0, leading into the lower compartmentN, and the upper ducts 0 lead to the compartment N. The circumferentialwall of each compartment has a series of perforations 11., through whichthe gas makes exit and burns about the circumferences of saidcompartments. Upon referenceto Fig. 3 of the drawings it will beobserved that a slight space intervenes between the nozzle ends E andthe open ends of the portsO and O sufficient to allow the gas whichmakes exit from the nozzle to force a quantity of air into the ducts andbecomes thoroughly mixed with the oil prior to igniting the same aboutthe circumferences of the compartments.

In thedrawlngs I have shown my heater as made up of three sections, eachbeing separable from the other, whereby if it is desired to produce asmall amount of heat one of the sections may be utilized or all if alarger quantity of heat is desired.

Secured to the under surface of the burner or integral therewith, ifdesired, is a shelf R, which serves to deflect the flame, thus causingit to ignite.

In setting up my heater it is my purpose to insert it through the doorof the furnace or stove and mount the same upon a suitable standard, andas the gas becomes sufiiciently heated it will be caused to be forcedout through the nozzles and sprayed into the burner, where it becomesthoroughly commingled with the inrushing air, thus afiording iOO asufficient amount of oxygen to produce a nearly complete combustion.

While I have shown a particular construction of heater illustrating theinvention, it will be understood that I may make variations in theconstruction of the apparatus without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim to be new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A heater for furnaces, stoves, &;c., comprising a central-compartmentgenerator provided with superposed chambers each with aradially-disposed nozzle leading therefrom, feeding-pipes leading tosaid chambers, a surrounding burner havingaplurality of superposedcompartments the outer circumferential walls of which are perforated, aseries of radially -disposed ducts in alinement with said nozzles andspaced apart therefrom, plates to which said generator and burner aresecured, and means for supporting the heater, as set forth.

2. A heater for furnaces, stoves, &c., comprising a central-compartmentgenerator having radial lugs about the circumference there- HARRY P.FISH.
